Description

I created a URDF of my own robot which has a D455 camera (and Jetson AGX Xavier). What steps do I need to follow in order to apply it to the isaac_ros_visual_slam_realsense_.launch.py?

I want to achieve this:

The command:

ros2 launch isaac_ros_visual_slam isaac_ros_visual_slam_realsense.launch.py

works fine and shows all the topics in rviz.

Thanks for any advice :)

Research direction

Start with the isaac_ros_visual_slam_realsense.launch.py entry point and the provided ros2 launch command, then compare its current topics and RViz output with the supplied URDF and D455/Jetson setup. The work is complete when the custom robot model is applied successfully and produces the target visual-SLAM visualization shown in the referenced video.
